Vince Clarke wants to start work on new Erasure album

Vince Clarke’s first solo album “Songs Of Silence” will be released on November 17th. The co-founder of Depeche Mode, Erasure and Yazoo provides a foretaste of his record with the singles “The Lamentations of Jeremiah” and “White Rabbit”. But before his work has even seen the light of day, the artist is already thinking about his next project.

“My partner Andy Bell and I hope to get together towards the end of the year and start working on Erasure’s new album,” Clarke told dpa in London. “I’m slowly concentrating fully on it,” he continues.

The synth-pop duo joined forces in the mid-1980s and celebrated hits like “Sometimes,” “Always” and “Oh! L’Amour” achieved worldwide success. In 2022, the musicians released their nineteenth studio album “Day-Glo (Based on a True Story)”, which was created by reconstructing some tracks from the previous album “The Neon”.

Apparently Clarke is longing for the fast Erasure tracks again after filling his upcoming solo work with calm – almost meditative – sounds. “I have no particular interest in making an album like this again,” said the British songwriter about his record “Songs Of Silence”. It was fun and he’s sure he’ll “come back to it in some way or form, but I really don’t have any concrete plans,” said the artist.
